My daddy has a fever From losing your war He went to protect your innocents From k**ing their own Every night I have to carry him to the bathroom Where he tells me things, dreadful things, fearsome things You sure lost a lot of weight poor dad of mine You sure lost a lot of weight poor dad of mine You sure lost a lot of weight poor dad of mine You sure lost a lot of weight poor dad of mine My daddy has a fever
Ever since he got home You brought him medals and medicine To poison his soul Every morning he will wake up looking pale and screaming Says he saw some things, awful things, terrible things You sure lost a lot of weight poor dad of mine You sure lost a lot of weight poor dad of mine You sure lost a lot of weight poor dad of mine You sure lost a lot of weight poor dad of mine
